The scene on the A18 where police blocked off the road following the collision

“He just came out in front of me quick. It came across both carriageways.

“The time was too short and we collided,” told Mr Belk.

The driver said he still suffered flashbacks to the fatal crash.

He added: “I keep thinking about why he came out in front of us. It would have taken two or three seconds to wait for us to pass.”

Another motorist, Benjamin Sharp, who was in the opposite carriageway turning into the road to Aylesby said: “I saw him pull straight out in front of the cars. I was so shocked I swore at what I saw, even though I had my six-year-old son in the car.”
